Unnatural Causes: Update on Florida boot camp death

posted by The Vidiot @ 6:30 PM Permalink

Quick synopsis: Florida boot camp guards murdered a 14 year old boy, shipped the body to a neighboring county for a 'friendly' autopsy and got it. That ME decided that the boy died of natural causes due to sickle cell trait ... and the videotaped beating had nuttin' to do wit' it.

Which brings us to today:

A noted pathologist said Tuesday that results from a second autopsy seem to indicate a 14-year-old boy died from a beating by guards captured on videotape at a juvenile boot camp, not from a blood disorder as a medical examiner initially ruled.

The guards and nurse still haven't been charged or arrested.
Bonus fun fact:

Prosecutors confirmed Tuesday that the 14-year-old boy who was beaten and kicked by guards in a juvenile boot camp did not die of a blood disorder as a medical examiner initially ruled.

For the learning impaired, let me repeat: The guards and nurse still haven't been charged or arrested. The honest Doctor says it wasn't natural causes. The prosecutors know it was murder. The Feds are investigating civil rights charges. And yet no one been charged or even lost their job.
